President Donald Trump Undoing the Obama’s Legacy
LET’S HOPE SO, THAT’S WHY HE WAS ELECTED …
A Tale of Two Presidents: Why is President Donald J. Trump so reviled by the LEFT, Democrats, MSM and Progressives? Is it because of his brash, harsh tweets, his take no prisoners attitude, his say what he damn well feels like it to the media or his just mere presence? Well yes of course. But the real reason is Trump is undoing the Obama years piece by piece. The Progressive dream is being dismantled. To the LEFT’s horror, the global warming and illegal immigration are on the top of the hit list. Whine as the LEFT and Never-Trumpers’ try and lie that Trump is somehow like Stalin, Hitler, or Mussolini, it was in fact Barack Hussein Obama who was the one who weaponized the FBI, IRS, DOJ and EPA against his enemies. Not Trump. All Trump is doing is undoing the past 8 years of Obama and “Making America Great Again” to the reality of a stock market that crossed a record 26K today.
Obama, waiving goodbye to his legacy
Yet one way of understanding Trump — particularly the momentum of his first year — is through recollection of the last eight years of the Obama administration. In reductionist terms, Trump is the un-Obama. Surprisingly, that is saying quite a lot more than simple reductive negativism. Republicans have not seriously attempted to roll back the administrative state since Reagan. On key issues of climate change, entitlements, illegal immigration, government spending, and globalization, it was sometimes hard to distinguish a Bush initiative from a Clinton policy or a McCain bill from a Biden proposal. There was often a reluctant acceptance of the seemingly inevitable march to the European-style socialist administrative state.
Even his critics sometimes concede that his economic and foreign-policy agendas are bringing dividends. In some sense, it is not so much because of innovative policy, but rather that he is simply bullying his way back to basics we’ve forgotten over the past decades.
The wonder was never how to grow the economy at 3 percent (all presidents prior to 2009 had at one time or another done just that), but rather, contrary to “expert” economic opinion, how to discover ways to prevent that organic occurrence.
Obama was the first modern president who apparently figured out how. It took the efforts of a 24/7 redistributionist agenda of tax increases, federalizing health care, massive new debt, layers of more regulation, zero-interest rates, neo-socialist regulatory appointments, expansionary eligibility for entitlements, and constant anti-free-market jawboning that created a psychological atmosphere conducive to real retrenchment, mental holding patterns, and legitimate fears over discernable success. Obama weaponized federal agencies including the IRS, DOJ, and EPA in such a manner as to worry anyone successful, prominent, and conservative enough to come under the federal radar of a vindictive Lois Lerner, Eric Holder, or a FISA court.
Trump has sought to undo all that, point by point. The initial result so far is not rocket science, but rather a natural expression of what happens when millions of Americans believe they have greater freedom and safety to profit and innovate, and trust they will not be punished, materially or psychologically, for the ensuing successful results. The radical upsurge in business and consumer confidence is not revolutionary but almost natural. The Left and Never Trump Right claim that Trump is Stalin, Hitler, or Mussolini. In fact, for the first time in eight years, it is highly unlikely that the FBI, IRS, CIA, DOJ, and other alphabet-soup agencies see their tasks as going after the president’s perceived opponents.

Florida Poll Shows President Donald Trump Would Easily Defeat Oprah Winfrey, 47.91% to 23.95%
ALTHOUGH ITS WAY TOO EARLY AND ONLY HYPOTHETICAL, THESE ARE INTERESTING POLL RESULTS …
Battleground state of Florida: In a poll commissioned by the Central Florida Post, and performed by Florida based polling outfit Dixie Strategies, between President Donald Trump and liberal fantasy candidate Oprah Winfrey, the results were rather startling to those on the LEFT. The poll showed that President Trump would win easily in Florida against Oprah, 47.91% to 23.95%. Although such a poll is far too early and obviously hypothetical, it does present a snap-shot in time and the thinking of a state’s electorate. Oprah may be the LEFT’s dream, presidential candidate, even though they stated when Trump announced his candidacy that he had no experience. But it shows in state polls, not skewed national ones, maybe Oprah isn’t the people’s choice. This might just be a reality check for Oprah.
Donald Trump in the must-win state of Florida, according to our poll conducted by Dixie Strategies of 785 likely voters, would trounce Oprah Winfrey.
How bad? President Donald Trump would win with a whopping 47.91% to Winfrey’s 23.95%, with a theoretical third party candidate getting 14.83% and 13.31% of voters undecided.
“Donald Trump continues to hold his base of supporters, while it appears Floridians are not viewing Oprah as a serious candidate.”
Trump not only retains very favorable views from 70% of Republicans in the must-win state of Florida, he also maintains a higher favorability across party lines. President Trump is viewed as “very favorable” by 42.42% of voters, while Oprah is viewed “very favorable” by only 25.87% of Florida voters.
When those 25.87% of Winfrey supporters were asked about her close personal relationship with Harvey Weinstein, nearly 45% of her supporters said it would make them less likely to support her candidacy.

90% Of Workers Likely To See More Money In Paycheck Next Month Thanks to Trump-GOP Tax Cuts
TRY AS THEY MIGHT, THE LEFT, DEMOCRATS AND THE BIAS MSM WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COMBAT THAT 90% OF AMERICANS WILL GET A TAX CUT IN 2018 …
As reported at CBS News – Boston, next month American workers will see the beginnings of the Trump-GOP tax cut in their paychecks. All Americans, whether you be Republican, Democrat, Conservative, Liberal, Libertarian or somewhere in-between will benefit from this. Whether you are black, white, Hispanic, Asian or whatever, you will benefit from these tax cuts where not one Democrat House Representative or Senator voted for. Unreal, the once Democrat party of the blue color worker now votes against the American worker. The LEFT, Democrats and the liberal media can say and write all of the negative stories they want, the fact of the matter is that an overwhelming majority of Americans will see a benefit from this courtesy of President Trump and the GOP.
The U.S. Treasury and the IRS on Thursday put out new guidance and withholding tables for employers that incorporate changes from the new tax law.
Under those new tables, the Treasury estimates that 90% of people who get a paycheck are likely to see more in take-home pay, as soon as February. Employers will have until Feb. 15 to incorporate the changes in their payroll systems.
But for many taxpayers, they will need to assess whether the new tables really are withholding enough money so that they’re not saddled with a big bill when they file their taxes next year.
The major changes affecting individuals include new tax brackets, (mostly) lower income tax rates, a near-doubling of the standard deduction and the elimination of both personal exemptions as well as many itemized deductions.
The new tables are designed not only to best approximate the change in workers’ tax liability under the new law, but to do so in a way that “delivers benefits as soon as possible to as many people as possible with as little disruption as possible,” a senior Treasury official told reporters.
The IRS is not issuing new Form W-4s … yet. “We’ve constructed the tables so that most people should be accurately withheld if they leave their W-4 in place,” a senior IRS official noted.
Let’s see how the Democrats and their MSM propaganda machine spin this ahead of the 2018 midterm elections. What is their slogan, Vote for Democrats, because your money is our money! Good luck to those Democrats in Trump states explaining this one.

Walmart Announces Bonuses to One Million Employees in Wake of Trump Tax Cut & Raise Starting Hourly Wage
MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN …
In the wake of the President Donald Trump tax cuts, WALMART has announced that it will give one million employees a bonus and raise their starting hourly wage to $11. Trump has started the ball rolling and the businesses as predicted are following.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is boosting its starting hourly wage to $11 and delivering bonuses to employees, capitalizing on the U.S. tax overhaul to stay competitive in a tightening labor market.
The increase takes effect next month and will cost $300 million on top of wage hikes that were already planned, the world’s largest retailer said Thursday. The one-time bonus of up to $1,000 is based on seniority and will amount to an additional $400 million. The company is also expanding its maternity and parental leave policy and adding an adoption benefit.
“Tax reform gives us the opportunity to be more competitive globally and to accelerate plans for the U.S.,” Chief Executive Officer Doug McMillon said in the statement.

CNN’s Jake Tapper Cuts off Interview with White House Adviser Stephen Miller … “I’ve wasted enough of my viewers’ time” (VIDEO)
I GUESS CNN DIDN’T LIKE THE TRUTH WHEN MILLER ASKED WHETHER CNN WAS COMPETENT …
Remember when CNN was actually a trusted name in news? Nope, me neither. The below interview by CNN’s Jake Tapper shows the vile venom that drips through the liberal media’s veins in their all out effort to reverse an election of the People.
Smug, snide and condescending comments from Tapper
Amazing … there appears to be no freedom of speech at CNN. When the condescending media hack Jake Tapper got handed his lunch and did not like what he was hearing, which was a valid defense of President Trump and how he was elected to the White House, Tapper cut the interview. White House Aid Stephen Miller slammed ‘Fire and Fury’ as ‘grotesque work of fiction’ in tense interview. Which by most accounts, it pretty much is. But that does not fit the liberal, hate Trump, try and impeach Trump agenda. So when the president was defended and CNN was called fake new to their face, the Democrat media complex did what they do best, stifle free speech and not let Americans hear an opposing side and the truth.
The below video is a perfect example why CNN and the liberal media can no longer be trusted. It is not about the news, its about their get Trump agenda.
Trump White House Aid escorted off CNN set:
A top White House aide was escorted off a CNN set Sunday when he refused to leave after a heated interview with host Jake Tapper.
White House policy adviser Stephen Miller was asked “politely” to leave the “State of the Union” set several times but ignored the requests, a CNN official told the Washington Examiner. Security then escorted him out.
Miller slammed CNN’s coverage of Trump and the release of Michael Wolff’s tell-all book, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, which shines an unflattering light on the president.
